I have been getting facials because I am pregnant and my skin is flaring up. The estetician mentioned microdermabrasion and a lightening cream and other treatments after the baby is born. I am really excited because I have been struggling with acne scaring and acne since I was young. Will all this really work? Has anyone been really sucessful with these procedures? I have the money to do it I just cant believe that this will help after I have tried everything!

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

I would speak to a dermatologist before you do anything! Some esteticians are not trained very well with higher potency chemicals and can burn you. But if its for very minor acne and a little bit of scarring (like red spots) then the lighter treatment MAY help. But definitely talk to a dermatologist. Also you may want to look into a glycolic peel for minor scarring - or if you have deep scarring you may need a laser treatment (or course that last one is really pricy)

Yes microderm will help. It takes some time and usually a few treatments. Try to be patient..because it will work. I saw a friend go through this and it really worked. I mean he had to be bandaged for a night or two and then had to go though the same treatment again..but the differences were remarkable. Hang in there.. it is definitively worth it. he had acne from whatever reasons and he was tired of it, so he went through this treatment and I saw immediate results. Hang in there..it ls worth it.

I only know that a good friend of mine had it done and she was so impressed! I almost did not recognize her! I think you would be very happy!
